Investing.com -- Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said Tuesday that there is sufficient capital available as major artificial intelligence companies prepare to enter public markets.

Solomon told CNBC's Leslie Picker that markets currently show more greed than fear as OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX prepare for initial public offerings that could value the companies at trillion-dollar levels.

"There's plenty of liquidity in the system if the world continues to remain as optimistic," Solomon said. "We are definitely in a moment where there's more greed than there is fear."

Wells Fargo Reiterates Overweight Rating on Alphabet (GOOGL)

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 02:54:32 -0400

Wells Fargo analyst Ken Gawrelski reiterated an Overweight rating and $435.00 price target on Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL)

The analyst comments: “Do not see equity raise as necessary to address any near-term financing needs. Estimate cash flow from ops and balance sheet plenty capable of sustaining investment.

Further, gross leverage (gross debt/EBITDA) at end of 1Q a very manageable 0.4x. Size of equity offering suggests to us a balanced approach to financing current plans, not pursuit of new opportunities.
